If your property is in Wigston Magna or the LE18 district or nearby Oadby, Leicester and Hinckley, it is within our Leicestershire coverage. It is about 4 miles south-east of Leicester.
Buyers and sellers in Wigston Magna often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. A survey in Wigston Magna gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Leicestershire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wigston Magna, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
